FlowLeap Legal Search (patent-law RAG)
Auth and global flags: see flowleap-shared.
Search
flowleap --json legal search "inventive step problem solution approach" --jurisdiction epo --limit 5
flowleap --json legal search "101 abstract idea two-step" --jurisdiction uspto --search-mode hybrid
Flags: --jurisdiction epo|uspto|eu|wipo|all, --search-mode hybrid|semantic|keyword,
--limit N, --include-context (neighboring chunks), --comprehensive
(grouped full-section results — best for drafting).
Each result carries source, section, chunk_text, source_url and scores —
cite section + source_url in agent output.
Discovery
flowleap --json legal jurisdictions # available jurisdictions and sources
Tools-facade equivalents: reference_search (the search) and
get_legal_jurisdictions (the discovery call).
flowleap --json tools run reference_search query='inventive step' jurisdiction=EPO
Patent-law reference needs no patent-data key, so it stays live while EPO or
USPTO is key-gated. Offer it as different data — it gives the legal standard,
never what has been published or filed — and never as a substitute for a gated
office's search (see flowleap-keys).
legal stats and legal docs no longer exist: their endpoints retired with no
facade successor, so the subcommands were removed rather than left to answer
410.
